A specimen processing apparatus includes a housing having a fluid supply reservoir, a specimen receiving chamber, a specimen collection reservoir, and an actuator coupled to the fluid supply reservoir. A liquid flow path extends from the fluid supply reservoir to the specimen receiving chamber, and to the specimen collection reservoir. The actuator is operable to propel a liquid from the fluid supply reservoir to the chamber. The specimen receiving chamber includes an inlet port, an outlet port, and a fluid flow guide disposed between the inlet port and the outlet port. In addition, the fluid supply reservoir is fluidly coupled to the inlet port and the outlet port is fluidly coupled to the specimen collection reservoir. The fluid flow guide may be operable to roil a liquid as it flows from the inlet port to the outlet port to facilitate the extraction of a specimen from a collection device. 1. A specimen processing apparatus comprising:a housing having a fluid supply reservoir, a specimen receiving chamber, a specimen collection reservoir, and an actuator coupled to the fluid supply reservoir; anda liquid flow path extending from the fluid supply reservoir to the specimen receiving chamber, and to the specimen collection reservoir,wherein the actuator is operable to propel a liquid from the fluid supply reservoir to the chamber,wherein the specimen receiving chamber comprises an inlet port, an outlet port, and a fluid flow guide disposed between the inlet port and the outlet port, andwherein the fluid supply reservoir is fluidly coupled to the inlet port and the outlet port is fluidly coupled to the specimen collection reservoir.2. The specimen processing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprisinga destructible seal disposed between the specimen receiving chamber and the fluid supply reservoir, the destructible seal being operable to prevent fluid communication through the inlet port while intact,wherein the actuator is operable to compress the fluid supply ...
